Support for entrepreneurs and consumer protection

A number of legislations are prepared by deputies of the Committee on Economic Policy, Budget and Finance for consideration at the plenary session in the second reading. It is planned that the parliamentarians will make a final decision on two legislations in the next few weeks: amendments and additions to the law "On Protection of Consumer Rights", as well as to the state target program "Support and Development of Entrepreneurship in the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic".

As for the state target program "Support and Development of Entrepreneurship in the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic ", It is planned to approve it for a period from 2023 to 2027. To create favorable conditions for sustainable and balanced growth of entrepreneurship as one of the factors to ensure a consistently high level of economic development of Pridnestrovie, in particular, the participants of the My Business project, start-up entrepreneurs, are invited to provide state support. In the form of payment from the funds of the republican budget 10% per annum of the amount of the outstanding soft loan and in the form of a one-time targeted assistance for the creation and development of one's own business. This will allow 120 economic entities to open and develop their business in priority sectors of the economy. First of all, we are talking about the manufacturing sector and the development of domestic tourism infrastructure.

The already well-known and quite successful project “Buy Pridnestrovian!” will continue to work within the framework of the program to support and develop entrepreneurship in Pridnestrovie. It is aimed at supporting local producers and popularizing Pridnestrovian products. The project has been running for the sixth year and during this time has proved its effectiveness. Exhibitions-fairs are constantly held in the cities and regions of the republic, where the products of Pridnestrovian manufacturers are widely represented.

The business school on the basis of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Pridnestrovie for start-up entrepreneurs, school graduates and managers in business structures will continue to function.

The law-in-draft will be considered at one of the next plenary sessions in the second final reading along with additions to the law "On Protection of Consumer Rights". They were discussed by deputies in the course of the meeting of the Committee on Economic Policy, Budget and Finance.

The law-in-draft is being prepared for consideration at the plenary session in the second final reading. The author of the legislative initiative, deputy Viktor Guzun, c that the legislative framework needs to be corrected and effective approaches to regulating relations arising in the process of purchasing goods (works, services) by consumers from manufacturers, performers, sellers should be created. The current law was adopted back in 1995 and simply does not meet current realities. For example, deputies propose to make amendments to the current law, which will enshrine the concept of “consumer”. It is planned in addition to fix a new article in the legislation that will regulate the rights and obligations of the manufacturer (executor, seller) in the field of establishing the service life, shelf life of the product (work), as well as the warranty period for the product (work). There will be an article in the new version of the law that provides for the consequences of a violation by the seller of the deadline for transferring the prepaid goods to the consumer.
